Cuisine
Celebrity Cruises has always been known for its
award-winning cuisine. Dedicated to meeting the
highest standards and utilizing distinctive methods
of culinary preparation, Celebrity's gourmet
delights are made from scratch, seasoned with fresh
herbs, and prepared with only the finest produce and
provisions.
Celebrity has partnered with Elizabeth Blau &
Associates to revitalize and design the entire
culinary program, which includes menu and wine list
development, galley design, service standards, and
executive restaurant staff training. The finest
hotels in Las Vegas have long benefited from the
passion, expertise, and all-star chef roster
Elizabeth Blau & Associates boasts.
In addition to the traditional main dining room,
Celebrity offers guests a selection of casual and
poolside venues, including the poolside grill, sushi
bar, pizza and pasta bar, and the soup, salad, and
sandwich bar. Guests can also enjoy a themed lunch
buffet featuring Italian, Asian, and BBQ fare. Every
afternoon, Celebrity's Gourmet Bites - delightful
hors d'oeuvres including savory mini-beef
Wellingtons and crisp tempura - are offered by
servers throughout the ship. Celebrity's Millennium
class of ships - the Constellation, Infinity,
Millennium and Summitt - feature specialty
restaurants with the tradition and grandeur of
historic European ocean liners like the Normandie
and the Ile de France. |

AquaSpa's Sensory Heaven spa treatments feature
Asian, Middle Eastern, and European influences that
employ sea and fresh mineral water to detoxify and
refresh the body, mind, and soul. The spa offers a
thalassotherapy pool, jasmine flower baths,
rejuvenating facials, and exotic massage treatments
including aroma stone therapy, Hawaiian four-hand
massage, and an enriching Egyptian ceremony of milk
and ginger.
Celebrity's fitness center features magnificent

shows and parties, afternoon tea with classical

children from ages 3-17. Each morning, children and
teens are given a program list of daily activities.
Children's activities include games, parties, and
the Shipmates Fun Factory. Teens can enjoy special
parties, pools, and a disco. Celebrity's Science
Journeys program allows kids to participate in
hands-on educational voyages, interact with sea
life, and explore the history of pirates, sunken
treasures, and excavation.
All children under the age of 18 are eligible to
participate in Celebrity's unlimited soft drinks
program. Children are able to obtain soft drinks
anywhere onboard the ship with the exception of the

sophisticated champagne and caviar bar.
Guests can purchase select designer jewelry and
clothing, cosmetics and fragrances, and gift items
for family and friends in Celebrity's sophisticated
shopping promenades. Pablo Picasso, Alex Katz, and
Jasper Johns are just some of the artists whose work
is included in Celebrity's onboard museum-quality
art collection.
